How does one identify a Whirlpool built DD? Any particular years of manufacture or models to look for? |

I believe the series of machines that tended to consume the belt were the models where the motor was mounted to the base plate and held stationary. When a load would get slightly off balance, the pulley on the transmission would naturally pivot with the tub causing abnormal wear on the belt.
The current series of SQ machines, the motor is mounted to the tub supports which keeps it always in line with the pulley on the transmission. This extends the life of the belt. So, an older machine that frequently spun enough out of balance to not trip the sensor would tend to consume the belt. However, if properly loaded and water level matched to load size, this spinning behavior is minimized. Malcolm |

i would suggest to buy a vintage washer as well as they are good and last longer i will post to pic so you can compare the direct drive washer and vintage washer in 2 post this is how a direct drive machine looks only trouble with the direct drive washer is they last 10 years max and newer models have the atc system so water is not as hot as they use to be
